Amandine Derimay Photographe

I am a documentary wedding photographer who supports couples in Bourges and across the Centre‑Val de Loire to create a reportage faithful to their story. My work lies at the intersection of emotion and heritage: I photograph looks, gestures and traditions so your memories become a visual legacy to pass on to future generations. Trained at the Beaux‑Arts and enriched by several years abroad (San Francisco, Sydney, London…), I have developed a quiet, attentive practice. For five years I have produced wedding reportages that favour the truth of the moment over posed stillness. My approach is documentary: slow, respectful and focused on detail — the light through a window, the texture of a family home, a shared ritual. Why choose me for your wedding? Because I put people at the centre. I always begin with a conversation to understand who you are, your meaningful places (family homes, historic residences, Loire châteaux, Sologne estates) and what you want to pass on. On the day, I work in immersion and with discretion to capture the essentials without interrupting the flow of your celebration. The result: sensitive, luminous and timeless images designed to last. I also offer engagement sessions — a quieter time to meet in front of the camera, to get to know each other before the big day and to enrich the visual narrative of your wedding. Each reportage includes a carefully edited selection of images and a secure private gallery. As an option, I offer a hand‑bound photo book made in France to keep your memories in a tangible, heirloom object. Based in Bourges, I travel throughout the Centre‑Val de Loire and beyond depending on the project. If you are looking for a wedding photographer who values authenticity, transmission and a documentary aesthetic, let’s write the story of your day together. Get in touch to discuss your wishes — I will be happy to accompany you so your images tell what you want to keep alive.
